HOMESTAY PROGRAM

E

duAbroad’s homestay program gives international students the chance to immerse themselves in American culture during their stay in the United States. Whether you using homestay
as part of a study package or just want to find a family to stay with
for a short period of time, EduAbroad’s large
homestay network has exactly what you need. All of our families are background checked, interviewed, and matched to suit the needs of specific students. Staying with
an American homestay family is a great chance for
cultural exposure, language learning, and making
new friends.

Why Homestay?

EduAbroad recommends homestay
because it offers students a culturally integrated experience, all while maintaining
a balance of supervision and personal
freedom. Why homestay? Because
homestay students learn more, stay safer,
and live better.

Benefits of Homestay:

International students living with a host family as part
of a homestay program get fully immersed in the American
culture and language allowing them to gain valuable life
experiences they wouldn’t get from school.

Students form a deep and long term relationship with
their host family, providing them with a nurturing home
environment, and a trusted ally as they make their way
through the American school system.

Host families take on the international student like they
would their own child, providing guidance and supervision.

Screening and Matching:

Host families are thoroughly screened and background
checked.

Host family homes are inspected to check that they
meet our strict homestay standards prior to approval.

Students and host families are matched based on the
needs of the student, such as the preference for transportation, location, provisions, and housing type.

All host families are oriented and prepared to create a supporting enviroment for students.
